Globally, trees originating from high-rainfall tropical regions typically exhibit lower rates of light-saturated net CO2 assimilation (A) compared with those from high-rainfall temperate environments, ...

Randy Moore and Clanton C. Black, Jr. Nitrogen assimilation in crabgrass Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop., was studied by comparing leaf extracts with isolated mesophyll cell and bundle sheath strand ...

Mesophyll conductance, or the ease with which CO 2 can diffuse through a leaf’s cells before reaching the location where it undergoes carbon fixation, plays a key role in photosynthesis. CO 2 faces ...

IN a recent communication 1, it was recorded that a number of hydrocarbons, including pure paraffin, readily entered the air-spaces of a leaf strip placed vertically in contact with the surface of ...

This is a high-resolution SEM micrograph from FIB-SEM manual imaging showing Arabidopsis thaliana leaf mesophyll cells with chloroplasts, nucleus, and internal membranous endoplasmic reticulum ...

If you want to know how much water a plant is taking up, one of the best places to look is in its leaves. A new material known as AquaDust could help scientists more easily do so, without harming the ...
